Well, congrats Alan (Alansarcade) ;) I doled out more than I ever paid for any arcade in my collection to get the game I sold 3 years ago to another buyer. But I can at least say that I am happy to see it on its way to me.

Starwars... I missed you...

And thanks Alan... :)
 
That's great. I sold my keeper, wish I hadn't. Want another. It's a really fun game.
 
Got any other arcades you want to sell? I can probably hold onto it for 3 years just incase.......

Sold this arcade for 280K in 1998.
 
points for proper usage!

You owned a Space Port? Nice (I hope)!

Spent many a quarter in the one in the Bangor Mall in Maine.

Same here. It was mostly in the early '90s during the Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat craze, because that's when I got my driver's license. Before that I didn't get a chance to go there very often, because I live 45 minutes away from Bangor.

The first time I went was in '84 or '85 when I was 9 or 10. I'd been playing Punch-Out in my small hometown; could beat the first Mr. Sandman (which gets you a score of about 130 to 150K), and thought I was pretty good at it. When I looked at the scoreboard on the PO machine in Space Port, it was completely filled with 900K+ scores (999,990 is the highest score that will display before it flips over). "Impossible!" I thought.

I never really got good at PO until my second stint with it, which was in the early '90s when I worked at a place in Pittsfield, ME that was next to a LaVerdiere's Super Drug Store with an "Action Family Arcade". In addition to the obligatory SFII machine, Final Fight, and other newer JAMMA games, it also had a PO, and it was there that I finally figured the game out.
